No. 90 Griswold Cast Iron Deep Double Skillets
Won Jun 12, 2013 for $54.99 plus shipping of $17.84 from Imlay City, Michigan. Seller was Marlene who sells on Ebay as greatvalueguys for Lapeer Trade Center Inc.

Seller respond to my inquiry about the skillet’s history with: “I purchased them from a GOOD customer who purchased them from a garage sale a couple of years ago. So I can not give much history other than the last person who used them was an older woman from Virginia who now lives in Michigan who does a lot of “southern” cooking.”

Kerry respond to my inquiry that he had “bought the skillet at an estate sale in Shingle Springs CA. It is a small foothill town about half way in between Sacramento CA and Lake Tahoe.  I have not cleaned or seasoned the skillet. When I get them, I wash them in very hot water with no soap to remove dust and dirt. I believe the people kept the skillet in the garage. (That’s where I found it).”

Wagner Corn Bread stick pan marked 7S X

Corn Bread stick pan with 7S X recessed in the bottom of one stick and clearly written by hand. This pan was used by Dorothy Davis.

Steve Stephens, on GCICA’s Facebook page, posted photos of pans with alternating sticks and said they were made in the 1960’s by Wagner.  Found that stated at other sites including the Cast Iron Collector. So, this one is a Wagner.
